I have not seen this done in one place before; is it redundant effort? The people at Grokline (affiliated with Groklaw) are interested in this project, in an effort to trace and verify the origin of everything that ever happened. Please see here: http://www.grokline.net and here: http://www.groklaw.net How does this overlap with the new Developer's Certificate of Origin? I have the distinct impression that these projects should be working closer together. Please cc me off the list in addition to on-the-list, just in case; my spam filter occasionally screws up. Thanks to all in advance for any input or advice.
